About This Home
As of October 2017First time on the market for this spectacular Superior Log Home that was built by the masterful hands of the owner, who was a master craftsman for the Upjohn company. Buyer's will be delighted by the attention to details that are evident throughout the home. Every cabinet, every door, every piece of wood in the home was handcrafted on site, in the workshop that is part of the barn behind the home, and the barn also has a spacious second floor one bedroom apartment, linked to the home via a wooden walkway that joins the two buildings. The main home features a charming covered front porch with swing, then entering through the custom oak front door, one is greeted by a great room concept living and dining area, with soaring vaulted ceiling and warmed by the Soapstone Woodburner. The kitchen has a wonderful center island with plenty of room for family and guests to surround the chef in the kitchen! The main floor master suite has custom closets with organizers, and a private ensuite. The main floor laundry features a convenient shoot from the second floor, utility sink and access to the wrap-around deck. The second level with mezzanine "library room", features new carpet and paint in both bedrooms, again, more custom pull-out drawers on this floor and great views of the living area below. The walkout level currently has a studio space, 220v for operating a kiln, 3rd full bath with a jetted tub, office, cold storage room and lots of potential to open the space and reconfigure as needed. The 5 acre parcel sits at one of the highest elevations in town and captures awesome breezes for natural cooling of the home. So much more to say about this very special log home, it's a must see!
